Gray/Anthracite-colored windows - the new "white"?

2020-12-15 18:44:01

I often see a very light yellow facade with a red roof.

We will also decide on a red roof and most likely a light yellow facade color. I am already very much looking forward to it because, in my view, it is a very friendly combination.

We did not have the courage to really paint the facade in color. So it will be white. However, it is still possible that the gables will get a vertical light gray stripe. That was/is at least planned.

That was really a gamble for us to move the facade away from white. White is just a safe bet. We were sure we wanted white. Over time, we increasingly got the feeling that it was simply boring. In the end, we compromised and chose this muddy yellow tone. That was really a horror time. We had an idea but were terribly scared that it would look completely different in reality. In the end, it was one of the best decisions for us.

Hello, we will also get white windows and therefore thought that we would make a nice red roof to keep it a bit friendlier. However, it has now been suggested that because of the [Photovoltaik Anlage] a dark roof would fit better. We are reconsidering now ‍☺️

Red roofs are dying out ... because of photovoltaics!! :eek:

For us, it was really a risk to move away from white on the facade. White is simply a safe bet. We were sure that we wanted white. Over time, we increasingly got the feeling that it is just boring. In the end, we were undecided and chose this muddy yellow tone. That was really a horror time. We had an idea but were terribly afraid that it would look completely different in reality.
In the end, it was one of the best decisions for us.

Wow, I have to quote myself and apologize for the terribly poor German.
Note to myself: word recognition on a mobile phone and not proofreading are a terribly bad combination.
